EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy helps clients process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact. This evidence-based approach effectively treats PTSD, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders through structured protocols. Our therapist is certified in EMDR and incorporates this modality to help clients achieve lasting relief from distressing experiences.
Couples Counseling
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) strengthens relationships by improving emotional connection and communication patterns. This short-term approach helps couples overcome conflict, rebuild trust, and develop healthier attachment bonds. Our practice specializes in creating safe spaces for partners to explore relationship dynamics and implement positive changes.
Teen Counseling
Specialized support addresses anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges in teens aged 16+. Using evidence-based techniques like CBT and DBT, we help adolescents develop coping skills while maintaining appropriate parental involvement. Our approach balances confidentiality with family support to promote healthy emotional development during critical growth years.
Individual Therapy
Customized treatment plans address depression, anxiety, and life transitions through various therapeutic approaches. We combine psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness practices, and cognitive behavioral techniques to meet individual needs. Sessions focus on building resilience, improving self-awareness, and developing practical strategies for lasting personal growth.
Mental Health Assessment
Comprehensive symptom assessments help identify depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. We offer standardized surveys and clinical evaluations to determine appropriate treatment paths.
